Poem for Feb 02



Personal Stanza


Baladeva and I are working on a new book
to begin compiling material
for _Looking Back, Volume 2_.

It consists of drama from the past
and digressions from the present.
It is something I wrote almost twenty years ago,
excerpts from _New, Newer and Newer_.
I dictate a section from the excerpts taken
from _New, Newer and Newer_.
Then Baladeva provokes me with interview questions
to make as comment, and I improvise
up-to-date commentary
from almost twenty years later, in 2017.

I think it is coming out well, contrasting the two periods,
and that those who like to read my books
will enjoy the contrasts and the drama between the two parts.
